West Cameron Port

An Offshore Injury Attorney Can Fight on Your Behalf

Arnold & Itkin serves those who have been injured while working at
West Cameron Port in Cameron,
Louisiana. This is actually the port entry for getting into the Calcasieu Ship Channel.
Within its territorial limits are locations such as the channel just mentioned,
East Fork, and Cameron Loop. The port itself was established in 1968 as
its own political subdivision. This means that the governing members of
the port have authority to dictate to all areas within its jurisdiction.
It can even have its own police protection if it so desires.

If you are involved in the Louisiana oil and gas industry, you have likely
heard of—or find yourself at—this port on a regular basis.
West Cameron Port is a major contributor to both the petroleum industry
and the seafood industry. At this port, you will likely find many shrimp
boats and commercial fishing vessels.

There are also other types of cargo that pass through this port, such as
grains and rice, among other things. This port was made for industrial
ships, which is why it has a main channel depth of about 60 feet. Like
many other ports, certain industries are stationed here, such as Cameron
Fisheries Seafood Processing and Cameron LNG.

Information About Cameron, Louisiana

Cameron is the parish seat of Cameron Parish, and it is where West Cameron
Port is located. Many people who live in this area make their living at
West Cameron Port. 5% of the town's 29 square miles is made up of water.
The town of Cameron has an extremely small population. It is located on
the Gulf of Mexico, so it was severely damaged by Hurricane Rita. Before
this particular hurricane, the town had a population of about 2,000 people—afterwards,
it dwindled to about 400. Unfortunately, this is the case with many Gulf towns.
